What our customers say

Candidate

Alexander James Recruiting offer outstanding support and assistance in finding a new role. They are appointed by companies to recruit for them but they quite clearly want the best for the candidates too. They are very knowledgeable of the companies they are recruiting for and provide invaluable advice and guidance with regards to the interview process. Once I had been offered my new role they still remained in contact, ensuring I had received my offer / contract and was prepared for my first day. They have since been in touch asking how I’m getting on. I would highly recommend getting in touch with them for help finding your next new role.

Alex has helped me a lot during this uncertain time. After being made redundant Alex and I spoke a lot on the phone. He found the perfect company to fit my skills and career desires. I couldn’t have done it with out him. I strongly recommend Alex as a skilled recruiter with contacts that can help you progress your career going forward. As a former recruiter myself I find Alex a rare breed as far as the constant contact and chats we had!! I can’t thank him enough

In all my years of using recruiters, Rob by far has been absolutely one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with. Always on the phone, always there with support, from beginning to end. Rob made the whole process of working with him feel like I was getting a unique personal service. I can’t speak anymore highly of the service received from Rob. If I ever need a recruiter again Rob will be one of the first on my list without a second thought. He understands his clients requirements from both ends of the industry and goes above and beyond!
